Step into the Lake Gardens, which house a variety of gardens and parks, and head toward the Orchid Garden to see 800 lovely species of orchids that populate the 2.5 acre (1 hectare) garden. After strolling through blossoming foliage, you will reach the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park that spans a hefty 20.9 acres (8.5 hectares). Walk among the 3,000 peacocks, storks, flamingos, pelicans, hornbills, and many others in their free flying habitat, and discover their natural environment. Close to a bubbling stream at the edge of the valley are several mouse-deer. The mouse-deer is the world’s smallest hoofed animal and a popular subject in local folklore due to its legendary wittiness. Your journey will continue as you explore the spectacular Butterfly Park and see thousands of live butterflies of every hue and tint flutter about. These shy creatures are equal in beauty to the Japanese Koi fish, a school of elegant swimmers. Your expedition will end at the extensive museum, housing exhibits of butterflies and insects from all over the world, to add to your collection of memories for the day.
